The Plan:

Step One: Hit the Track in the Ultimate Dream Car

It’s not every day that a group of friends get to hit the track in a Lamborghini Gallardo or a Ferrari F430. A bachelor party is just the special day to get behind a wheel like that. At the Dream Car Sprint, you and your friends can drive a Lambo or Ferrari like these on a specially-designed autocross track. If the bachelor has a streak of car lust in him, this is the perfect first stop on the ultimate thinking man’s bachelor party. Available in most large metro areas.

Step Two: Record Your Own Hit Single

A state-of-the-art recording studio isn’t reserved only for music industry royalty, it can be available to most any paying customer. If that’s you and a group of friends and a musically-inclined bachelor, you can block off a few hours to record a song of your own that the man of honor will never forget. Every city of a decent size should have at least one full-service recording studio, and you may want to call far in advance to get a good sense of when you can set aside some time. If everyone chips in, you can gift your groom with a day to remember and a song to walk away with. Just know that it’ll take a lot of planning on your end and some practicing too. Let the studio manager explain what it’ll take, and how they can help you have a song ready to record a vocal and add some groomsmen ad-libs. [image courtesy: colin gordon]

Step Three: Get Back Stage – the Original VIP Treatment

Let’s see– we’ve driven a supercar, we’ve recorded a song in a state-of-the-art studio, why not continue the rock star dream and experience a show from the eyes of the band? There are ways of getting back stage at your concert of choice, and it certainly helps to have connections. Our colleagues at AskMen explored this subject in detail, and we concur with their findings. Note that getting access for a full bachelor party group is asking a lot, especially if you’re already deep into the drinks. Aim to get the bachelor access on his own, while the rest of you enjoy the show from the crowd. Call in favors from friends in the media, ask the venue for box/vip tickets or even contact the band’s manager directly. It can’t hurt to ask, and the memory you give the groom will last a lifetime.
